Love / Age difference in our relationship. I'm 41, my girlfriend is 27. Common in Polska? [57]

Hi all I am new to this forum and would be interested in peoples views relating to a set of events which has happend to me of late.

Bascially I have entered in to a relationship with the polish girl who works in our local polish shop in leytonstone / london. What started of as a bit of a fling has now resulted in her asking for somthing more serious and a bit more committement. So much so that she now wants to take me back to polski land to meet maama and papa !!! The only issue is the age difference.

Her 27, a really nice girl, educated, switched on and the icing on the cake is she is very good looking.

Me 41, although told i pass for a lot younger. Ex miliary, decent job do lots of sports and am quite independant.

To be honest I am quite flattered to say the least. As she pretty much has the pick of the bunch. That includes loads from her social group who are more in line with her age.

Ive got my own mind and have decided to go for this. It would raise eyebrows here in the uk as there is a noticeble difference in the age. A couple of friends have worked in Poland. They say that age differences in relationships are more common over there and it would go un-noticed. I would be interested in peoples opinions on this forum.

ie Do you think the age gap is so large that at some point differences will occur and it will be difficult to keep things going ? and also is age gaps in relationships more common than here over in poland ? thanks Mark.
